There are many different Irish insults. We have compiled what we think to be the Best Irish Insults List in the world!
Read through them and have a laugh, even have a bit of fun and try one on for size with a friend. We are sure you guys would have a few more so please feel free to add to the list in the “comments” box at the end of the article. Enjoy!
Words can never hurt me…
My favorite – “You are depriving a village somewhere of an idiot”
“You’re as thick as manure but only half as useful.” This one is really self-explanatory.
If you’re looking for a dismissive insult you can use, “I never forget a face, but in your case I’ll make an exception.”
Another old one from Ireland’s rural folk “May your spade never dig, may your sow never pig.”
“I could say nice things about you, but I would rather tell the truth.”
No Irish insults are complete without insulting babies right? “When you were born you were so ugly, the nurse slapped your mother.” Ouch!
“You’re as sharp as a beach ball.” That’s some serious insight..errr..insult, right there.
“Your Ma is your Da!” So this one makes no sense, but with a drawn out emphasis on Ma and Da it sounds good. We think this is more like, your mother is so ugly that she looks like a man. But again, we keep it in the family!
Finally, our last one is in Irish/Gaelic! Interestingly, the Irish language does not have any swear words and this one is the closest phrase you can get! Pog Mo Thoin!”… For those of you that don’t know what it means….well its “kiss my derriere” as they would say in French!
I’m sure there are some more great insults out there. Feel free to leave your favorites as comments to this article, or on our Facebook page!
